Tried out a new rain cover on my pannier bag this AM - success!  Anyone see the gusts potentially reaching 60MPH this evening? My boss relayed it to me, but I can't find anything out of the ordinary on weather.com

Actually saw two (2) bike commuters on my way to work this morning.  That's some kind of record.

I saw several on the LFT.  They all passed me. :-(

A handful on Elston this AM - passed a guy in sweatpants around Logan Boulevard  :/

Since I start in Wicker Park and have such a short ride to the Loop, I always see bike commuters--even in the dead of winter.  On nice days they seem to swarm out of the woodwork.  Today was not one of those days.

Hit a few gusty cross-winds this morning on Wells just before turning onto Kinzie. Otherwise, a bit damp out, but a good commute.

Made it in before the lightning and thunder and most of the wind although a big gust almost knocked me over at the corner of Kinzie and Dearborn.  So we will see what develops and whether the bike stays in the office tonight. ;-)  Hope you later folks are okay out there.

made it just in time as well! Got to the south loop around 8:30, before the thunder and lightning rolled in. I caught a CRAZY headwind on Harrison that stopped me in my tracks. The pedestrians on the corner looked at me like I was absolutely nuts :)

Every now and then the light in the photos is even more interesting than usual.  Today is one of those days.
